"One Tree Hill" is more than just a television series or a Netflix addiction. It’s a place where friends treat each other as family. You’ve probably considered a couple hundred times setting Tree Hill as your location on social media, but would that be taking it too far? No way. You know why? Because this is the place where everything’s better and everything’s safe.

You would give anything to take a single step on the river court. You wish that could be “your place.” The one-on-one game between a young Nathan and Lucas, who hated each other? You would have given your left leg to be in the crowd that night. That would have been almost as satisfying as spray painting your name on the court after graduation.

How about a night at Tric? If Chase made you a brain blaster, you’d happily accept, even though your body would happily deny. But that’s fine, because it’s a drink from Tric, and that’s way better than your college town fish bowl. And the live music? Amazing how they always got the best artists to perform, like Jimmy Eat World, Kid Cudi and Fall Out Boy; must have been pure luck! But you wouldn’t question it. And who better to open the show, maybe Haley, Chris Keller, Mia? Any of the above would do just fine.

On a serious note, no one WANTS to be kidnapped, but if you HAD to be, you’d definitely want to be kidnapped from Tree Hill. Nothing like a good old-fashioned abduction from a crazy nanny who would probably try to dye your hair or feed you cockroaches. And just when you thought she was gone for good, you’re somehow running for your life from her in a mysterious cornfield.

But it’s Tree Hill, and these things happen all the time, so don’t fret. If kidnapping isn’t really your cup of tea, you can always get a stalker who tattoos a large image of you on his back, just normal Tree Hill things, the usual. And if neither of those real life nightmares are for you, find yourself a nice, hot, sports agent boyfriend, whose late wife has an evil twin. Okay, so they’re not biologically twins, but if you caught Katie sneaking around your house late at night, suddenly being kidnapped or having a stalker might not seem so bad.

You also probably wish you were from Tree Hill because you’re guaranteed a super successful career. Fashion designer, professional basketball player, singer, author, owner of a record label; need I say more? Tree Hill breeds ‘em well, and I know where I’m raising my kids. And with that being said, if you’re a girl, naming your kids is easy, and if you’re a guy, just know your child will be named after his or her mother. James, Davis, Sawyer… weird.

Part of being a resident of Tree Hill means a membership to the DSHC, Dan Scott Hate Club. Because you would be so proud to be a member, getting it tattooed across your forehead would be highly considerable. But what about membership dues? Not too expensive, just get yourself into a new love triangle every month! Easy as pie.

Speaking of pie, how about a piece from Karen’s Café? The heart of it all. Unwinding from your crazy week that consisted of playing a pick-up game on the river court, running from the town psychos, and your wild night at Tric, and Karen’s Café is the place to do so. The building itself feels like home no matter what the company name, because let’s face it, Clothes Over Bros felt like home, too. The corner of Grace and Front is where you were meant to be (or so you think.)

And when the sad truth sets in that you’re not really from Tree Hill, and it’s more of a place in your heart, you realize that the world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it. So make your wish; do you have it? Now believe in it with all of your heart.
